some time sitter dark. # the little. deer
had remained alone I am satisfied
should have killed him at the pine slash
ing. One principal cause Of failure was
that it had turned cold during the day,
freezing thin crust on the soft snow,
making it difficult to walk without noise.
The result was naturally. great disap-
pointment to me. Here was deer
had hunted faithfully all day without
once coming in sight OF him. Mallison's
system was not exactly disproved, for I
did nearly tire out the deer, but my con-
fidence in that mode of hunting was
greatly shaken, unless pursued under
the most favorable circumstances.
Upon getting in I found the other
boys in camp. They, too had been un-
successful. When Custer had jumped
up the fawn and ran him off, Lutte saw
the doe sneaking out Of the swamp; she
was so close he thought to kill her with
shot in the head, but missed his mark,
Ed then gave her two shots on the fly,
also missing. So we killed no deer on
this day. This is long story about q
very small. deer, but it serves we'll to
illustrate the habits and cunning of the
deer as well as the methods Of the hunt
or, and how hard his work Is.
Many readers win perhaps doubt

sketch, a. illustrating the almost human
intelligence and cunning of the deer,

Some Suggestions for Prof. Nourso

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: An edi.
torial In the Erening Star asserts that the
Panama canal will be failure and In the
closing paragraph ates: "The United
States has. On eminent right to demand II

ministration by the De Lesseps company
Having some knowledge of international
law have looked In vain for any possible
authority on the part of our government to
haul Nj. de Lesseps over the Goals for any
presumed derelction In misapproprialiug
or misapplying French capital at Panama.
Some two years ago Prof. Nourse gave
your readers warning, and especially Onr
legislators, that our government should by
no means attempt the construction OF the
Nicaragua canal, then government right
under treaty with Nicaragua, alleging as
reason that the Panama canal was an as
sured success, and we should bow TO q
foIegone conclusion. VIII now the learned
professor now show your readers that NJ,
de LCsseps has not misapproprlated the
French funds intrusted to him, or that he
has not misapplled them, aud had he even
done go that II is quite beyond the province
Of our government TO investigate Lesseps
or his canal? These gloomy sltterances OF
the probable failure OF the Panaml canal
should at Cnce be denied By the professor.

Dear iu mind that what tn y do is In re-

many people in this world imagine that u

would seem to be an unanswerable argu-
ment in denial Of this that the unfailipg
obedience received from these trained
horses and dogs is obtained without q
harsh or basty word, and without the medl-
cine Of the lash. Now, there is another
lesson we can learn. If the brute--with
his undeyeloped and inferior reasoning

AFTER THE CONVENTION.
Delegations From o,her Cities Seeking
Recognition.


1t is quite evident that the efforts to be
put forth by the citizens Of this District to
secure the meeting here OF the Republican
and Democratic presidential nominating
conventions does not deter other cities from
continuing their efforts to attain the same
object for themselves. Prominent politicians
have been working individually for weeks
TO locate the conventions In Philadelphia,
New York, and other places, aud as the
time draws near for the meeting OF the
Republican National Committee In this
city additional pressure will be brought to
bear to succeed In some one OF these pro-
jecte. st. Louis will probably be the first
TO put In appearance, and has already an
advance guard on the ground to keep the
folks at home posted. Mr.. A. @. Wldil
combe, chairman OF the Republican state
central committee Of Missouri, arrived here
several days ago, and hes already put 10
some good work. The committee, NUN
bering between twenty five and fifty OF st.
Louis most prominent citizens, with Gen.
Henderson at their head, will arrive here
early next week, and t.cI lhs work Of log
rolling will be entered upon in earnest, for
by that time they will have committees
from other cities to meet and contend
against The committee has accepted the
invitation Of the Republican National
League to enjoy the hospitality Of the
League, and as the National Republican
Committee has also accepted similar In.
vitation this social intercourse will doubt
less prove advantageous to the st. Louis peo
pie, but whether they can win or not remains
to be seen. The League will play no favor.
ties In the matter, beyond striving to have
the District selected for the meeting of fethe
convention, but all Visiting delegations
will be invited to enjoy Its
handsome home and be welcomed as royal
guests. The national committee will hear
all applicants and the reasons why their
request 81 ould lie granted and In the end
will do rs they have done heretofore, decide
according to their judgment. The mem
bers Of the League were none too soon in
opening their quarters, and will find, II they
have not already, that It is Just what Is
needed for the party. 1t will become q
meeting place for the leaders and other
prominent Republicans, and the gatherings
there, 1t is safe to say, viii prove beneficial
| to the party, rank and file. In selecting
| Gen. E. F. Beale for president the League
has learned that 1t made most iudiclous
choice. He is well known as having been
| the bosom friend OF Gen. Grant, and he is
his political faith or not. AS Repub.
licans of note arrive in the city they
| express the desire to visit the League,
and the universal expression seems to be
that in its establishment the Republican
| party has at the national capital what IL has
| long needed-an abiding place where It's
| leaders can meet and are sure to rec eive q
| cordial welcome. Here work can be
| mapped out and later carried into effect
| aud the Leagae is soon apt to be known as
| Republican headquarters Ia Washington.

wAsHINeToN ATHLETIC CLUB.
An Organization that Proposes TO Pro-
vide Healthful Sports.

f'uo "obt'htui bpUTths
One Of the institutions that this city hts
hitherto lacked is now well under way with
everything in its favor. The Washington
Athletic Club has been organized and IL
proposes to supply the respectable youth
Of the city with healthful gymnastics OF all
kinds without attempting to wreck their
pocketbooks.
A REPUBLICAN reporter called upon Mr..
A. f. Childs, president OF the club, and
asked him what their plans and prospects
were. 1--WE have" said that affable gentle
man, ia first class start and very pleasant
outlook. The public knew nothing OF our
organization q week ago and yet we have
nearly hundred applications for member
ship in already. 1t is really surprising to
see how many respectable young men are
desirous Of Joining the club"
"Does the club intend making specially
OF any particular branch OF muscular de-
velopment," asked the reporter.
"No; we shall try to cover as much
ground as possible. fn our club house we
shall have a gymnasium OF the most modern
description, and there will also be billiard
and pool tables for members. We expect
TO locate our park in the course Of week
or 30, and shall at once commence to make
1t ready for the coming spring. In the
park II Is our intention to make four-lap
bicycle track. several tennis courts, a "dia-
mond" for base ball enthusiasts, and rife
range. Other minor attractions will also
be provided, and everything that an
athletic club should have will be ours. Boat
ing will, Of course, be O great summer at.
traction, and this will be duly attended to-
"When do you expect to commence oper
ations ?"
~ suppose we shall know more definitely
by tomorrow night There will be a meet
ing of those interested In the tea room OF
Willard's Hotel at 1880, and we want every.
one who is interested to attend and join oul
family circle.n
Secretary Kelley Informed the reporter
that he had issued call for meeting to-
night at Wizards Hotel, aud said he was
desirous OF having as many members aud
interested persons present as possible.
